What's wrong with this video: Can we even count the ways?
I love Asia. It's all about CULTURE to me. Not about race...... I thank the gods I left the WEST....at a young age. People here in China, and Asia, are halfway civilized. I do fit in....in Asia...believe it or not. -

Thai Cattle Farmers Protest Proposed Import of US Hormone-Treated Beef
I do agree with much of what you write, but the differences in the beef quality are also due to factors, in addition to the feedlot practice of fattening up the cattle. Australian beef, like Canadian beef and US beef production also includes the use of feedlots. It is done to maximize the profit margins. An estimated 80% of Australian beef finishes off at the feedlot where it can spend 2-4 months being fattened up. The high fat content Wagyu variety can spend over a year. Canada beef has a similar feedlot experience. The US feedlot experience 4-6 months at the feedlot, with an estimated 97%+ off at the feedlot. Yes, it makes a difference, but it isn't the decisive factor. I offer that the Australian (and Canadian) feedlot diet which emphasizes more grain and roughage results in a leaner higher quality beef results in a better product. US cattle have a more corn based diet. And it includes the corn stalks and leaves. It isn't high in nutritional value, and results in a higher fat content. In respect to the use of antibiotics, much of the world has careful restrictions. China, Brazil, and the United States meat producers rely on the use of antibiotics. IMO, US consumers are being poisoned so that they can have cheap meat. The problem we have in Thailand is that sourcing good quality beef is difficult. The US has some of the world's finest quality beef that comes from "organic" type farms that free range raise the cattle and that avoid indiscriminate antibiotic use. The thing is that the market for the product is small, and the meat is expensive, such that it won't be seen in Thailand. The restaurants that serve quality beef in Thailand are few and far between and you pay for it as you say. Most restaurant chains, and I can think of one large one, serves some really poor quality beef. It is gristly, tough and requires "processing" before it can be used. I avoid two chains because my experience since Covid is that the steak will be tough and near inedible. I expect that if US beef flooded the market, it would be of poor quality too. The US cattle producers focus on quantity, not quality. -
